I. PROCESS SESSION City Manager Mike Gleason introduced John O'Connor, Human Resource and Risk Services, meeting facilitator. Mr. MacDonald asked the council to consider funding for the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) mailout advertisement for the South Hills Fire Preven- tion Program that he has been piloting. Ms. Bascom moved, seconded by Mr. Nicholson, to authorize $550 in funding for the EWEB mailout. Roll call vote; the motion carried 7:0:1, with Councilor Boles abstaining. The council generated a list of process issues to be considered at this meet- ing. Included in this list were issues which have been flagged by the coun- cil since the last process session. Based on the list, the council decided that it would have approximately 10 minutes to discuss each item. Darcy Marentette, City Manager's Office, posted a list of council ground rules to which councilors could refer during discussion. A. Items from Council, Mayor, and Manager Ms. Bascom said that the time the council has been spending in discussion during the items from the City Council, Mayor, and City Manager has been out of control. As examples, she reminded the council of a meeting when majority of the time was spent discussing items brought by Councilor MacDonald and another meeting when the council spent the entire meeting discussing this agenda item. She suggested that the council find a way to structure this item so that each councilor has an equal opportunity to raise issues and recommended that councilors might do a more careful job of selecting agenda MINUTES--Eugene City Council Quarterly Process Session June 5, 1991 Page 1
